The Supreme Court pushed the issue back down to the local courts — community standards.

A) South Carolina law makers are gonna have to claim the entire state is one community.

B)This will mean outlawing so-called adult content on cable television, movie theaters, video stores, and newstands.

This is going to be a hugely expensive undertaking at tax payers’ expense.

OK, Section 2 Issue:

SECTION 2. Religious freedom; freedom of speech; right of assembly and petition.

The General Assembly shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government or any department thereof for a redress of grievances.

“Uh, Congress shall make no law...”

Uh, the doctine of incorporation under the 14th Amendment, applying all of the Bill of Rights (except for the 2nd for now — soon to be heard) to state governments...

The 1st Amendment has already been applied to the states as well as the Congress.
